Work this semester has been a rush as far as film class is concerned. Wrapping up the semester feels more like opening a big can of nasty and throwing it all over the place. Finally though, the pieces are pasting together like a beautiful collage of knowledge and experiences. I'm very happy to have undergone this class, especially with those classmates which enjoyed the film making experience with me. I've had to really pick things up and pump those arms hard towards the finish rope. No matter what the workload, I have learned so much about group work, leadership, formulating the best possible outcome for a group instead of just myself, and of course about filming and this history of the film industry. Who would have thought that the first motion pictures would come from horse gallops? Who would have thought that masterpieces of editing require so much skill and hard work? Who would have thought that the beginnings of the cameramen position required that an individual stand in public and film everyday life being carried out as it is.
The films we watched were all profound in their respective purposes and truly displayed the nature of Hollywood and its intricacies. From the happy musical beat to the creepy underbreathed life of professional murderers and amateur murderers our class films absolutely depicted the intense drama available in Hollywood. My favorite would have to have been "Singing In the Rain." It kept me feeling so upbeat and joyful. Also, the cinematography exhibited was gorgeous.
Couldn't have asked for a better semester!
